states of america that is depicted, but the president is depicted because he created the federal reserve systemdecember 1913, under the patronage of powdered wilson, the largest banks of the rothschild rockefellers and other magnates created the federal reserve system, not a state structure that got the right. and after 8 months , the first world war begins, during which the states and financial systems of all the leading empires of that time will be destroyed , the dollar will remain, the pound will remain, i don’t think this is a coincidence. since then, the influence of the american currency in the world has been weakened. but even now , many payments from plastic cards in most countries of the world go through conversion into dollars. until now, everything that is sold on the world market. well, almost everything is sold and quoted in dollars, oil in dollars, gas in dollars, metals in dollars food in dollars weapons in dollars. this is all a consequence of the very agreement that was concluded in the summer of 1944. the delegation of the soviet union was also in braptonsia. and even signed

the finns and the fed will be very upset, the federal reserve system, if they see a flow from investmentsuries, yes us bonds or currency, just a friend is rude to take the dollar into gold. i think uh the actions of the american regulator will be immediately redirected in every possible way to prevent this from happening. well, i think if the americans, and i think, how would they understand. yes, what are they, uh, the central role in the world is a little uh, yes. but i think they understand it. and if you look at who actually are the main holders of the american long, yes, then, if there 30 years ago, it was mostly foreigners who were involved in the most foreign legal entities of the central banks, and there are some government funds, now it is the us residents of the federal reserve system hmm in person and so on. they are the main foreigners who have been quietly selling this for 7 years now. let's figure china yes. i remember the figures, approximately more than a trillion, in my opinion, they had 1.300 central bank bonds on their balance sheet, and according to the estimate it was

evaluate data on the next increase in fuel stocks in the united states and the results of the federal reserve systemeeting last week in american storage facilities increased by 4 million barrels, not all increases are recorded within 6 weeks in a row, besides, wednesday night fed expectedly raised the key interest rate by 25 basis points. moreover, the regulator, judging by the statements, is not going to stop there, but i will not remind you of all this on wednesday. opec plus decided to keep the current level. here we are talking about a decrease in production by 2 million barrels per day, experts traditionally make forecasts. what will be the cost of oil during the year, but there is no unanimity, there are two main versions from 70 to 80 dollars and that's 90%, well, we continue to sit behind the situation on the market and talk about her on the air. a new school was opened in bryansk. it is designed for 1,200 students. first deputy chairman of the federation council andrey turchak and minister of education of russia sergey kravtsov took part in the opening ceremony. all guests were given a tour

the blame squarely on the policies passivity and ineptitude of the federal reserve board, the guardian of the nation's monetary system it is a complicated story, but in the judgment of friedman and schwartz, it was the fed that was mainly for converting what they called a garden variety recession into a major catastrophe. since 63, friedman and schwartz's indictment of the fed has won considerable acceptance among economists and reinforcement from the principal historian alan. but as schwartz, meltzer and their monetarist are substantially. what should we now say about herbert. in all of american history, no president has been more conscientious, hardworking than he for three years and more. he strove without stint to induce the american people to shake off their confidence. repeatedly, he pleaded with banks to resume lending with depositors to stop and for moral action that would arrest the credit freeze. could it that his incessant labors not so much right or wrong as your relevant it reminds me of the greek mythological figure sisyphus forever condemned to push a heavy boulder up a hill every time he nearly reache

the civil war because it lasted so long as a system for 50 years into the creation of the federal reserve. one of the ideas was that these national that all issue the same they didn't they consider the greenback to be a temporary works period which it proved to be. but this was to be forever, which in human terms it was. the national bank notes national banks in every city around the country would issue the same type of note they'd be backed by the same reserves and so on. and one of the features was that they would be required buy national bonds as reserves, which would create a market for what salmon chase was trying to do, which to sell bonds and raise bulk of the money to finance the union armies. and with both the taxing mechanism and the national bank act behind, he was able to go to jay cooke and the fourth leg of the stool behind greenbacks taxes, the national banking system was selling bonds out in the hinterlands to every business farmers, small savers. nothing like this had ever been done on this sort of scale in. the united states or anywhere. i've already said that the nation

of course, i would add the federal reserve, the nation's central bank, had its own computer of over these years and. those computer systems didn't do a very good job of predicting how the economy was going to perform, in part because the people who built the forgot to put in a financial system, a banking system into those models. so how much can we trust the models that you're talking about the computer algorithms to really run a better world for us? well, you know, a policy decision at the end of the day are also political. they not just purely technocratic. so if a right the model using it i could predict the business cycle then there's a trade off how you allow inflation to be higher to have a little more of growth and less unemployment as opposed to having the reverse. how much raising interest rates are going to lead to a financial crash so that trade offs that imply political decision, social decision and distributional effects, who's going to be jobs or gaining them was going be having his or her own wild and savings wiped out or reduce because all of these policies have distributional effects. so i'm not sure that

federal reserve of a potential spill over impact of its actions on the rest of the world. it's a pretty strong argument for decreasing dependence on washington and it's whole monetary system. the value of currencies in a lot of developing countries has already plunged against the u. s. dollar, making imports more expensive, while rate wages remain the same. so that's a really bad deal for the average person. so whether we're talking about indonesia or britain or the european union, it's now pretty obvious the washington is just going to do what's best for washington. primarily, while flashing a friendly smile and giving a nice pat on the back to its pals. but that's about all they can really hope for. so he got to ask, what exactly washington's closest allies are waiting for, to ensure the protection of their own interests. first and foremost, rather than waiting around in the hope that washington might toss them a few crumbs of consideration after it does what's best for itself. rachel marston, all she contributes a thanks very much for breaking that down for us. we've known now south africa lawmakers are expected. see milofa downgrading the country's embassy in israel, o

probably three key sources of liquidity out there, the federal reserve, which everybody is laser focused on controls the amount of money in the systemo keep things tight for a while. don't forget the lags soertsds with those hikes that aspect of liquidity will continue for a while you have the banks you've seen the bank earnings. they're seeing delinquencies increase you're seeing charge offis increase they're tightening their lending standards the fastest since 2008 that source of liquidity, loans and credit, will continue to shrink and the last component is financial conditions in the market overall and that, you know, tends to be fickle and move up and down ultimately, if you have the first two, i think liquidity will continue to tighten and that's not a good environment for markets, especially when you combine that with the recession, carl. >> barry, is a trajectory higher at least in the first six months of the year, there's a lot of fomo afoot where would you be investing to realize the most meaningful returns over the coming months >> remember the 2022 is dominated by the defensive stocks both defensive growth like drugs and

and the federal reserve, where did the government get the money from, the federal reserve lent it, we have an imbalance that poured a lot of money in the systemtion, credit becomes dead and then inflation and tightened monetary policy and then where are we we're now in a classic spot where we have got a relatively high real interest rate, real interest rates went from minus 175 basis points to plus 175 basis points, right? you got a cash rate that is relatively high. cash used to be trashy you got an inverted yield. >> you said trash is now more attractive >> cash -- >> cash is trash >> yes, cash -- negative 1.5, 2% real rates terrible now cash is relatively attractive >> right. >> it is attractive in relation to bonds, absolutely attractive when it comes to stocks. you have the classic movement as rates go up and money becomes tight. you lose a part of the economy, parts of the market that are the bubble parts that needed the cash flow, right so you are seeing it reflected in not only, you know, long duration stocks, those who didn't have cash, so you see the tech stocks come down, all of that come down you see private equity, you see ventur
